About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stolid Flycatcher sighting in Santo Domingo on a given day, based on 125 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 110 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stolid Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Santo Domingo (125 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
